Old Dodos should really know better

THE Chingford Polecat, Lord Nincompoop Tebbit, has dished Sir Misery Rifkind’s chances of leading the Dodo Party. “With every respect to my friend Malcolm Rifkind,” slavered the Polecat, “I don’t think a Scottish lawyer would win an enormous amount of seats in England.” What he meant to say, of course, was “an enormous number of seats”. It is, alas, an all-too-common failing of Dodos who insist on pointing out the failings of others when they themselves are far from perfect. The days when the Dodos could weigh seats or votes are happily long gone. It is also, I suppose, pointless to point out to Lord Chingford that with an English lawyer at the helm the Dodos hardly covered themselves in glory at the recent election. Nor, I dare say, is it worth mentioning that a Scottish English lawyer is the present incumbent of No 10. An indication of just how dire is the state of the Dodos came in a statement from David Mundell, their lonely Scottish MP. Reacting to the Polecat’s vapourings, he said: “I don’t think being Scottish is either positive or negative.” What does he think we are? Batteries?



Trust the Tories to set Scotland free

WE are slouching towards independence. Do not though thank – blame? – Ecky Salmon, the leaping Gnat. Nor can we hold other pro-separatism parties to account. When independence comes, as it surely must, the perpetrators will be the Dodos. According to its house organ, the Torygraph, the gap between the amount of public money spent per head in Scotland compared with that spent in England has grown “despite devolution”.

As a consequence, Little Englanders are greetin’. For instance, £1456 is spent per head on health in Scotland, mostly on eradicating nits. The figure in England is £1225. In Scotland, £852 is spent per head on education, which means that we know the difference between “number” and “amount”. In England, a paltry £695 is spent, so you can become a member of the House of Lords without a grasp of common usage.

The Dodos have just woken up to the fact that they won 60,000 more votes than Labour in the South under a political system known as “daylight robbery”, which gave them 92 fewer seats. How could this be? they wondered, and began to plot revenge. What they would like to see happen is Scottish MPs barred from voting on purely English matters, such as morris dancing and football hooliganism. While Irn Broon and Doctor Finlay Reid are kicking about Westminster they can forget it. But come the day when the Polecat’s pals are in charge, Scotland will once again be targeted, as it was for the poll tax. This time, though, nationalism will be the alternative to protest march bunions. Free by 20 past three? You read it here first!

Not worth giving it the dignity of reply.
